Similarly, the main message from the public’s Facebook comments was a strong “get on with it”…
Deputy Monty Tadier of St. Brelade focussed on the lack of consultation with his constituents regarding the plans to keep the old Les Quennevais School site permanently for Health…
We appear now to be a three-site hospital. We learn in a Minsterial Statement that the recommended option is now to keep the old Les Quennevais School site permanently for Health. Where was the consultation with local reps and residents?! #JerseyCI#JSYHospitalSagapic.twitter.com/79CLWbUQuA

Another islander expressed his thoughts towards the multi-site hospital plans through the medium of GIFs…

Liz Miller referenced how the plans proposed in the recent report are very similar to those suggested by former Minister for Health Anne Pryke almost a decade ago…

Other Facebook commenters felt that the biggest concern was the time that had been wasted on the project so far…
And Dr David Ng, local Gastroenterologist, expressed his concerns that having a multi-site hospital will result in increased expenses being spent on staffing and equipment…
@StatesAssembly After paying compensation for Kensington Place to Dandara the savings will be further eroded after doubling equipment needed, more healthcare workers needed (when we barely have enough now for current hospital), more maintenance engineers…
